In the California recall election, Gov. Gavin Newsom crushed the opposition 64 to 36, though votes are still being counted as of noon on Wednesday. Exit polls showed that voters stuck to Newsom because of coronavirus fears and how Republican governors in Florida and Texas have handled the pandemic. “Election 2022 begins today, really. Newsom delivered the blue wave of the size of which California has never seen,” says Politico reporter Carla Marinucci.  Also, more than 2,500 LAPD employees plan to seek a religious exemption from the COVID vaccine mandate for LA city workers. How does someone prove that they have a true faith-based exemption?  And Democratic State Assemblymember Jose Medina is confident that Gov. Newsom will sign a new bill that would make ethnics studies a high school graduation requirement.

Those in the know don't seem to know it (or don't want us to know it), but big majorities across grassroots America are strongly in favor of the fundamental changes that Washington elites are rejecting.

California's gubernatorial recall election is on September 14, and 46 candidates are vying to oust Governor Gavin Newsom. Mail-in ballots will be distributed in less than two weeks. Democrats had banked on the idea that an earlier election day would work in Newsom's favor — that he'd ride to an easy win thanks to school reopenings, a booming economy, and ever-shrinking COVID cases. While Newsom's approval rating is still hovering around 50% according to recent polling, it's not clear that the governor's Democratic base is fired up to support him.  “Our recall election is not an election. It's a two-part dance,” says Republican strategist Sean T. Walsh. The first is you have to convince the public that they need to fire a sitting governor. Then second, they need to make the case that they are the alternative if they choose to fire the governor.”  Despite uncertain recall polling, Politico reporter Carla Marinucci says Democrats, including those in Newsom's camp, are not concerned about the election. “Just do the math. The Republicans in California lag behind Democrats by more than 20 points on voter registration,” she explains. “They are impassioned, and the polls are showing that. But no matter how many turnout, many Democrats think the math is just not there for them to get this recall over the line.”

Gov. Gavin Newsom announcing his choice to become California's next Attorney General: Bay Area Assemblyman, Rob Bonta. Bonta replaces the former California Attorney General, Xavier Beccerra, who was recently confirmed as President Biden's Secretary of Health and Human Services.   To discuss further, Politico reporter and author of the California Playbook, Carla Marinucci, joined KCBS Radio's Patti Reising and Jeff Bell.   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The recall effort against California Governor Gavin Newsom passed a few major hurdles last week, with supporters turning in more than enough signatures, and Newsom embarking on a media blitz acknowledging the likelihood of a recall election in the fall, and vowing to win it. Criticism of the governor revolves around economic hardship in the state after the long-term COVID-19 restrictions, and the slow pace of school re-openings. Marisa Lagos gives the latest on the recall effort, Newsom’s response, and other California political news with LA Times Reporter John Myers and Politico’s Carla Marinucci.

Governor Gavin Newsom mainly focused on the coronavirus pandemic during his annual State of the State address on Tuesday night, which he delivered at a nearly empty Dodger Stadium. And in what sounded like a campaign kickoff, he briefly discussed the recall effort against him.  “He said that this is a fight for California's future. It's also a fight for his political future. This was a pivotal moment for Gavin Newsom as he faces down what looks increasingly to be a recall election this year,” says Carla Marinucci, Politico reporter covering California politics. “He had to get the message out to them, and so did it at Dodger Stadium, one of the busiest mass vaccination sites in the nation.”

With our guest, Politico's Carla Marinucci, we chat about how the Recall Newson campaign needs a star out front--just as the Recall Davis effort in 2003 had Arnold. Is Dwayne Johnson, The Rock, the new Arnold? We also explore the recall's connection to the anti-vaccination movement.Nancy Boyarsky is the producer-director of Inside Golden State Politics.

Governor Gavin Newsom’s approval rating was above 60% in June. Now California is one of the world’s coronavirus hotspots, and Governor Newsom is facing another recall attempt. “The COVID pandemic has created the perfect storm that has fueled the recall,” says Politico reporter Carla Marinucci. “And at this point, supporters say they have amassed a million signatures that have not been verified by the Secretary of State's office. But they were given a big boost when a superior court judge gave them until March to do that. And some political consultants are saying they have about an 85% chance of coming up with the 1.5 million valid signatures they need to qualify that recall.”

Democrats begin their plans to remove Donald Trump from office - with the Vice-President being asked to make him quit. If Mike Pence refuses to act, the House will vote to impeach the President for inciting his supporters to storm the US Capitol Building. That ballot won't happen until Wednesday, just a week before Joe Biden is sworn in to office.

Happy Labor Day everyone. On this special Labor Day episode, host and Loyola Law School Professor Jessica Levinson and producer Joe Armstrong talk about a issue near and dear to many workers -- whether they are independent contractors or employees. Jessica and Joe unpack the current legal wrangling surrounding rules for gig economy workers. Starting January 1, 2020, California changed the law to categorize many gig economy workers as employees, not independent contractors. But the law, known as AB 5, cast a wide net and covered some freelancers who lost jobs as a result. Joe shares his story of work that he lost. In addition, one of those famous freelancers is former San Francisco Mayor and Speaker of the Assembly, Willie Brown. As Politico's Carla Marinucci wrote, just this week his regular Sunday op-ed column for the San Francisco Chronicle was temporarily put on hold as a result of the law. https://www.politico.com/states/california/story/2020/09/04/former-sf-mayor-willie-brown-ensnared-by-ab5-gets-assist-from-newsom-1315782 A few days ago, Governor Gavin Newsom signed a bill that narrows AB 5, and exempts many freelance workers, like Willie Brown. But wait, there's more. There is a measure on the ballot, sponsored by companies like Uber and Lyft, to undo the California law which treats most gig workers as employees. Where does the law stand and what could happen next?

Carla Marinucci, a senior reporter for Politico, joins Jessica to talk about what it is like to be a journalist during the Trump administration, what it takes to be a good journalist, and the political prospects of California Governor Gavin Newsom and Senator Kamala Harris.

Now  the House and Senate have passed the CARES Act, Congresswoman Karen Bass (D-CA37) breaks down how the bill will impact those Americans sitting at home weathering the storm."If you filed your taxes, and had a direct deposit, you just get money put directly into your account," Bass said. "If you didn't have direct deposit, then it will take you a little longer, and you'll get a check in the mail, and the check should be out in just a couple of weeks."Bass added that while checks are helpful, they won't help pay all the bills if Americans don't have a regular income, so unemployment insurance enhancements will also be beneficial to Americans struggling through the crisis.Bass, however, admitted there were issues with the relief package.In California, for instance, the cost of living is higher than much of the rest of the country, many who earn $100K may be unable to afford housing in the state, but still earn above the national threshold for receiving relief payments."It is absolutely not enough," Bass said. "We had to do something right away, so you better believe that we're already thinking about, and planning about, a fourth bill."This, as Bass expressed concerns that California needs federal assistance in further funding SNAP, block grants, and homeless efforts, requiring more than has currently been allocated as part of the CARES Package.Speaking of legislation at the federal level, Bass also had some choice words for President Trump's response to the pandemic."I think he has been consistent over the last 3.5 years, and I think that the very sad thing that's happening now, is that this is probably the only crisis that he's had in his time that he didn't create the actual crisis," Bass said. "He has mishandled it from the beginning, leaving our country unprepared.""The worlds' largest economy now has the world's largest number of people infected with COVID-19, this could have been prevented in terms of the large numbers," she continued.Working from her in-district home, Bass said she's spent her time in virtual meetings, and watching Netflix's newest series "Self Made" about the life of C.J. Walker.---------Elex is joined by Carla Marinucci, senior writer of POLITICO's California Playbook.Two of the leaders who have received the most attention during the coronavirus crisis have been Governors Cuomo and Newsom, both of whom have had to face the largest tests of their times in office."Newsom has really managed to shine, I think the Sacramento Bee today called him the 'President of California,' he talks about the nation-state and the importance of what's going on here, and I think all the way along, Newsom has really led the way on this coronavirus crisis."Marinucci said Newsom's support of efforts to keep Californians, especially older ones, at home, have allowed the state to keep the number of fatalities down, seeing just a tenth of the number of deaths in Louisiana, which itself has 1/10th of the population of the Golden State.As Governors Newsom and Cuomo jump into the national spotlight, leading many to try and draft Cuomo as a Democratic nominee, the actual presumptive nominee, Joe Biden, has retreated from the trail to a makeshift studio in his Delaware home."After those wins in the primaries, Biden looked like he had a clear path to go, now this has really thrown him for a loop, I think," Marinucci said. "Really, the messaging, everything about his campaign, seems to have taken a back seat. He is hurting right now, I think, because you can't look strong from an underground bunker, and he doesn't look strong and decisive from there."----------We wrap things up with legendary attorney Gloria Allred.In the past couple years, Allred has represented accusers of both Harvey Weinstein and Bill Cosby. Now, one of those men has tested positive for coronavirus, the other is petitioning to move to house arrest to avoid contracting the disease in prison."I don't frankly wish coronavirus on anyone, including Mr. Weinstein, but I really don't have sympathy for Mr Weinstein, he is where he is because of what he has done," Allred said of the disgraced producer's diagnosis.To avoid further community spread of the disease, Allred discussed the need for changes to the court system and prison population in the name of public health and safety.On jury trials: "We cannot have jurors being endangered, or feeling that they are endangered, by going to court, nor can we have court personnel or attorneys, or anyone else in the courtroom endangered by having hundreds, perhaps thousands of jurors going to court... this is not the time for jury trials."---------- The Issue Is: with Elex Michaelson is California's only statewide political show, broadcast from FOX 11 Studios in Los Angeles.

Listen to the questions that weren't asked in the 1st presidential debate.
